As Amos Hostetter once said, “Take care of your losses and the profits take care of themselves.” Risk management hits on the roots of trader psychology, therefore, Dan Cook, Senior Market Analyst at IG Markets, considers it to be one of the most important aspects of trading, and one that any trader can master. While risk management is often discussed, it is rarely understood. The subjectivity of entry and stop placements and varying trading time frames makes it difficult to generate consistent trading results.

During this webinar, Cook will divulge the risk management principles that should be included in any trading plan. The discussion will focus on several concepts: risk/reward ratio, risk to equity and the psychological aspects of stop placement. Additionally, Dan will discuss how currency traders can use binary options in cases where a spot forex position does not offer the best opportunity from a risk perspective.

The EUR failed to push above the former swing high at 1.4140 and has retreated in early trading this week. If support at 1.3980 is broken it places the short term bias downwards with a target of 1.3900 and beyond that 1.3840.

Resistance is currently 1.4040-1.4060. The targets beyond this level are 1.4100, 1.4140 and 1.4175.
